The head coach of the women's senior national team of Montenegro, Mirko Marić, announced the list of players for the upcoming duels with Northern Ireland in the play-off for League B of the UEFA Nations League.
The first playoff match will be played on February 23 at 14 p.m. at the stadium under Gorica, the second leg is four days later in Belfast.
- It's nice that we got into a position to play such an important game. Northern Ireland are the favorites in this double-header, but that doesn't mean we're going to give up early. I believe that the girls, as always, will give their best and that we will use all our qualities, but also take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. I am sure that both games will be uncertain - said Marić.
Sjeverna Iskra - strong, island selection, competitively extremely ready.
- We analyzed their matches from the League of Nations and saw that it is a serious team, above all disciplined and physically strong. However, we see a chance to threaten them - added Marić, who will not be able to count on the injured Nađa Stanović and Anđela Tošković, while Maja Saranović will miss the duel in Podgorica due to two bookings.
